As long as Thanos sends troops to help him complete his revenge, Astra will give Thanos the specific coordinates of that mysterious cosmic force. In Astra's opinion, this is an extremely fair deal.

That mysterious and powerful cosmic force was of little use to Astra herself. He had tested it, and judging from the little gift he received, his body simply could not withstand the full infusion of power, and it was better to take out the coordinates and make a deal with Thanos.

After all, when it comes to killing people alone, Thanos is a professional.

"I promise you."

In the Dark Quadrant base, Astra lay on the bed, staring at the magnificent starry sky outside the window in a daze, and the words of Thanos agreeing to the deal echoed in her ears, and thoughts were surging in her mind.

He had insomnia.

Maybe it's the strangeness of the environment, maybe it's the excitement of closing the deal, or maybe it's something else. In short, he had insomnia, no matter how much alcohol he drank, it was useless, and he still couldn't sleep.

"Why is this happening?"

"Obviously the goal has been achieved, and Thanos has agreed as I thought......"

After tossing and turning, Astra chose to get out of the room and go outside the base to get some fresh air to clear her mind, but she saw Thanos and Beckett in the hills outside the base.

One was dressed in gold armor, and the other was dressed in silver.

The messy gravel was trampled on the soles of the feet of the two people, and the fists and palms were staggered, dazzling and dizzying.

"You're improving again."

Thanos, who was standing with his fists in his hands, looked at his son, who was breathing a little rapidly in front of him, and his eyes were full of satisfaction.

"I'm so proud of you, kid."

After only a brief fight, Thanos had already noticed that Beckett's strength had improved considerably compared to Jotunheim's.

"Hoo ......"

Calming his rapid breathing, Beckett reached out to wipe the beads of sweat from his forehead, and the silver armor on his body automatically fell off with his thoughts.

"It's just that there is still more room for improvement in the use of energy in your body."

Thanos, who had already gone through Beckett's stage, seemed to be afraid that his son would go the wrong way at this stage, completely ignoring the fact that he was "peeping" at Astra behind him, and continued his teaching.

Since Beckett left his side to lead the team alone, the time spent face-to-face between father and son can be said to be pitiful compared to when Beckett was a child.

It's basically a fixed battle twice a year, and then Thanos summarizes the deficiencies and corrects Beckett's wrong way of channeling the power in the body in time.

The easy-to-understand truth, the in-depth explanation, and the demonstration of practice, Astra felt that he could do it.

Then, Astra tried to channel the glimmer of the gift that was silent within her in the way Thanos had spoken, but no spark came out of her fingertips.

This made Astra a little embarrassed.

His eyes told him he would, but his brain and body slapped him in the face with the cruelty of reality.

My face was swollen.

"Ahem, I didn't mean to eavesdrop."

Perhaps it was because he was trying too hard to toss and turn, but when Astra's eyes returned to Thanos and Beckett, he found that their eyes fell on him.

"The power in you is very special, and this way of channeling is useless." Thanos gave a nervous look at Astra meaningfully, then turned to leave.

"Well, then, that's all for tonight, Beckett."

"Yes, father." Beckett respectfully saluted Thanos' departing back, and Astra on the side still had his index finger on his right hand, and a little spark began to appear from his fingertips from time to time.

"That's nice." After watching Thanos leave, Astra turned her head to look at Beckett with a little envy in her eyes.

It reminded him of the time when his parents took him to the training ground to train him, and his father's generous back.

"This time, you'd better not be playing around." Beckett glanced at Astra and snorted coldly.

Astra, who even Thanos dares to calculate, naturally can't get Beckett's good face.

"Don't always put on an ice-faced Beckett, no woman will like you. Although some girls seem to like you, but in fact, really mature women still like a steady, reliable and laughing man like me, understand? ”

Thanos left, and Astra, who had no pressure in his heart, leaned on the boulder and raised his eyebrows at Beckett in front of him, revealing his true nature.

He has already made a deal with Thanos, and he is not worried about his own safety at all, at least until the deal is over, as long as he does not provoke Thanos to die, he should be fine.

As for Beckett............

"Shut your mouth."

The sudden pain in her jaw made Astra grin.

"Well, neither father nor son is a fuel-efficient lamp."

Reaching out and rubbing her sore chin, Astra shook her head and was about to go back to sleep, but she didn't take two steps when she saw Diana on the other side of the hill.

"What? Homesick? ”

"Or do you miss your six buddies?"

"Shut your mouth." The same answer as Beckett made Astra snort.

"You know, I've actually heard of you. The pirate queen of the planet N52, the woman who once defeated the Kree Empire's Accuser Fleet and the Skrull Empire's Seventh Army. Astra sat down beside Diana unconcernedly, looking up at the starry sky full of unknowns.

"So what?"

"So, are you interested in killing back with me? Maybe you'll be able to regain your strength. ”

For revenge, Astra doesn't mind pulling the former queen, maybe it will work wonders.

"Has anyone ever told you that your pick-up skills are terrible, and they can't be worse." Hearing this, Diana was silent for a long time, clenched her fists unwillingly, and then reluctantly let go.

"No, in fact, many women praise me for my good skills." Astra raised an eyebrow and pulled out two bottles of wine from his belt bag, which Ebony Throat had found for him at Thanos' orders.

"Take a bite?"

Diana turned her head to look at it, reached out to take it, lifted the lid and drank it heroically. The rich liquor spilled down the corners of his mouth and dripped onto his chest.

"Hiccup......" Diana burped very unimaged, staggered to her feet, and her eyebrows were full of unwillingness.

She still has a lot to do, she hasn't finished her revenge on the Kree Skuruls, she hasn't killed all those who have bullied her, she hasn't ............

"Why...... Why!! ”

The hysteria that followed the drinking made Astra look confused.

Is this drinking fake wine?

"You know what? When I was a child, N52 was actually a very beautiful planet, and my hometown Paradise Island was one of the most beautiful places on N52. Although my birth was an accident for my parents and my childhood was a lot of turmoil, I loved my hometown at that time............"

"At that time, the sky was blue and the water was clear............

"Later, I grew up. A lot of people want to kill me, but I also kill a lot of people, and I try to keep my hometown from being destroyed............"

"I killed a lot of subordinates because they thought I was starting to change ............"

"I ............"

Like a muttering after a collapse, or like an inner monologue when she wakes up from a dream, Diana, who is wearing a burgundy dress, gradually turns into grains of sand and scatters on the ground in front of Astra.

Astra bent down and silently picked up the wine bottle buried in the fine sand, and there was still a bright red lip print on the mouth of the bottle, which seemed to still tell Diana's past:

"Heaven and hell, there is no right for me to choose, only the fate of my choice."

Far away galaxies, the orbital planet N52 was destroyed by the cannon fire of the two Imperial Star Destroyers............
